Data Engineer – (MEO – 675A)

This company is an independent software company that makes tools to help businesses run more smoothly. We believe that businesses only succeed by using their time intentionally. Our products support our customers through time tracking, reporting, and forecasting features.

This company started in 2006 as a team of three and has grown to today’s current team of over 60 working from around the globe. We’ve worked as a remote team since the beginning, and we continue to hire the right people for the job no matter where they call home.

We also strive to create a workplace culture where everyone feels valued, included, and heard. One important aspect of this is continuing to create spaces for diverse life experiences and work histories. If you are a member of a group that is historically underrepresented and disadvantaged in tech, business, and society in general, we want to meet you and we encourage you to apply.

Why We’re Hiring

At this company, you’ll be working with a team of honest and respectful engineers who value giving and receiving feedback and trust that they can count on each other.

This company Engineering consists of Product Engineering and Platform Engineering. Within Platform Engineering there are currently two teams, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and Data and Security Engineering (DSE).

The Data and Security Engineering (DSE) team is responsible for providing infrastructure and tooling that supports both internal and external data science and security needs. On the data engineering side, much of their work involves creating pipelines from various systems and tools, processing the incoming data and pushing it into our data warehouse for future consumption. For security, engineers use and/or build tools and partner with external vendors to assess various threats to this company and our customers’ data. They then work to improve our applications and build additional tooling to keep us safe.

We are currently looking for a Data Engineer to help evolve the data infrastructure at this company.

What You’ll Do

• Support this company’s data warehouse and drive the evolution of our pipelines.
• Identify and implement process improvements: designing infrastructure that scales, automating manual processes, etc.
• Take ownership of the various tasks that will allow us to maintain high-quality data; ingestion, validation, transformation, enrichment, mapping, storage, etc.
• Implement testing and observability across the data infrastructure to ensure data quality from raw sources to downstream models.
• Collaborate with the Insights and SRE teams to build reliable, scalable tooling for analysis and experimentation.
• Collaborate with the Product team to anticipate and support changes to the data.
